Sanders and Warren lead in New Hampshire - US Election 2020

CNN - Politics: Reports " Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders (21%) and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren (18%) are in a close race among likely voters in New Hampshire's first-in-the-nation Democratic presidential primary, according to a new CNN poll conducted by the University of New Hampshire.  "

Lets Get Real:

The question that has to be asked, is VP Biden finished, he leads in some national polls but in the States he has been overtaken by Sanders or Warren.  One has to assume that President Obama might need to have a word with his former VP, either to get in to the game or considering getting out of the race.  It can be postulated that Barack Obama legacy was hurt by the fact that Hillary Clinton did not win 2016, he does not want to see his VP defeated.   The only thing keeping Biden in the race is the support of the African - American vote, but will last if he loses Iowa and New Hampshire.  It can be argued that the Democratic Establishment should start thinking of getting another candidate, thus we come to HRC, she did win the popular vote in 2016 and she needs something to do, also one would have hoped she would have learned the lessons of 2016, listen to Bill Clinton more, he knows about winning elections. 

UK General Election 12th of December - Part 2 - General Election 2019

Sky News: Reports " It is set to be the first December election since 1923 and will be dominated by debate over the UK's delayed departure from the EU.  "

Let's Get Real:

The last time a general election was held in December was in 1923, it lead to the formation of the first minority Labour Government.   The present Conservative Party has to fight this election based on a positive message, more funding for the NHS, more policemen on the street, lower taxes, and getting BREXIT DONE.   There will be endless polls, there will be ups and downs, also we have the debate between the leaders, PM Boris should be good at that.  There has to be Party discipline, keeping on a daily message, that a Corbyn Government would be a DISASTER for the UK and for Europe.  The stock market would tank if Corbyn was elected, the Russians would be happy, NATO would come under threat, Corbyn has stated that he would never order the UK to strike back if a rogue nation struck the UK with a nuclear missile.   This general election should also be about the defence of the UK. 

UK General Election on the 12th of December - General Election 2019

BBC News: Reports " The UK is set to go to the polls on 12 December after MPs backed Boris Johnson's call for an election following months of Brexit deadlock.  "

Lets Get Real:

This is a good day if you are a CONSERVATIVE and a BREXIT supporter, the UK will have a general election on the 12th of December.   The Conservative Party have to learn the lessons of 2017, no negative Manifesto ideas, get Brexit done, cut taxes, put more police officers walking the streets.  Protect NHS funding in the future.  PM Boris has to keep it simple, show the voters that they can trust the Conservative Party and paint Jeremy Corbyn as old Marxist unfit to be the PM, how Corbyn would take the UK back to the 1970s, strikes, three day week, looking weak around the World.  The Conservatives have to think they are 10 points behind, take the fight to the Labour Party and other anti Brexit parties.   The fight start tonight. 

The SNP and a General Election - Brexit Update 2 - General Election 2019

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 7.37pm post the following, " SNP will support 12 Dec election - if PM ditches attempt to pass Brexit deal  "

The change of strategy was even a shock to a few SNP MPs, the SNP knows that there is a tough criminal trial coming up in January, and it does not want its image tarred by the Trial, thus this move to support a general election in 2019.  It seems that Labour will have to be dragged in a general election, that does not look good, the older Labour MPs know that some of their colleagues will not be back, and some must secretly hope that they lose so they can get rid of Jeremy Corbyn. This is the chance for the UK voter to make up its mind, one way or another, not another minority Government, the UK system does not work when that happens. 

Today's playtime in the House of Commons - Brexit Update 1 - General Election 2019

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 7.34pm post the following, " Government will not bring Withdrawal Agreement Bill back...No 10 confirms the government will not try to bring the Withdrawal Agreement Bill back to the Commons.  It comes after the Lib Dems and SNP said they wouldn't vote for a December election tomorrow unless the prime minister committed to dropping the bill. "

Lets Get Real:

What a fiasco today in the HOUSE OF Commons, the PM tried to get a General Election through the Fixed Term Parliament Act, that failed, mostly Labour abstained, thus tomorrow we have a 2nd vote that will only take a majority.  Thus far it looks the SNP is on board, while the Liberal Democrats want to see the details, the above is the main bone of contention, well WAB is in LIMBO, thus see why no reason for not an election.  One does wonder what Labour will do, how many times can they refuse an election before looking like chickens and cowards. It is time for an general election, to end this issue, the UK is tired of the debate, and even this political blogger has had enough. 

Warren LEADS in Iowa, Biden 4th in a new poll - US Election 2020

The Hill: Reports " Warren beats Buttigieg; Biden in fourth in new Iowa poll "

Lets Get Real:

If the Biden Campaign is taking comfort in the their lead in a recent national poll they are making a great political mistake.  At the end of the day it is down to the States, and these polls have not been good for Biden when it comes to Iowa and New Hampshire.  The Biden Campaign can not afford to lose Iowa and NH, this would give great political momentum to Warren if she can win both States.  The great lead that Biden has in SC due in part to the African - American vote could fall fast if Warren is seen as the winner.  Also Biden has to worry about Mayor Pete, he is 2nd in this new poll from Iowa.  Senator Harris who placed all her bets on winning Iowa and is no show.  Biden has to hit Iowa and NH hard, otherwise he will become yesterday's man fast.  Let not forget that the impeachment of Trump and his Senate Trial will take up the early months of 2020, a political distraction, the Democratic candidate need all the free TV coverage they can get. 

Labour to say NO to an election ? - Brexit Update 3 - General Election 2019

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 6.07pm a tweet from ITV's Robert Preston, " It is very clear to me that Labour and other opposition parties will block @BorisJohnson’s 12 December election. So goodness knows what happens. “Taking back control” is what one senior opposition figure just said to me "

Lets Get Real

If the above is accurate then we have a ZOMBIE Parliament that has been take over by the HARD REMAINERS. PM Boris should call a NO CONFIDENCE in himself and get the Party to vote for it, then the House of Commons would have 14 days to find a successor to Boris or there would be an election. Is the House of Commons bubble so gone that MPs have fallen off political reality. Any attempt to place Corbyn in No 10 would lead to political disaster for those MPs who support the move. The nutters have taken over our political system.
